64-bit vs. 32-bit

I have a 64-bit Windows laptop, and installed Cygwin several years ago.
I wish to verify that I did install the 64-bit installation.
I get the following results:

cygcheck -V
cygcheck (cygwin) 1.7.15

uname
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64

If I did install the 64-bit version, when I rebuild my Linux app on
Cygwin, do I automatically get a 64-bit executable (that will not run
on a 32-bit Windows computer)?
